problems or leaks will be immediately obvious during routine
engine fluid checks.
5 . 6 . 1 . Engines, Transmissions and Generator
As mentioned in Section 3.1., it is important to check your
engine, transmission, and generator fluids every time you use
the boat, and daily on long trips. If the engines and transmissions
are kept clean, leaks and other problems are easier to spot. Oil,
coolant, and filter change intervals are outlined in the engine
and generator manufacturer’s owner’s manual. Please read
them and follow their recommendations exactly. Have all en-
gine, transmission, and generator maintenance performed by
your dealer or other qualified marine service facil-
ity.
5 . 6 . 2 . Stuffing Boxes
Your 3000 Offshore Express comes equipped with
PSS (packless sealing system) propeller shaft seals for stuffing
boxes (see Figure 5-5). These shaft seals use engine raw cooling
water for lubricant and have a hose running from the shaft seal
to the engine. The system should not leak water into your boat.
If you notice leakage of the seal during, or after, a trip, contact
your local dealer or qualified marine service facility.
Additional information from the shaft seal manufacturer is
provided in the owner’s packet.
5 . 6 . 3 . Ventilation System
The exhaust blowers are permanently lubricated and should
require no maintenance. The hoses that run from the blowers,
into the bilge, should be checked periodically to be sure that they
are in the lowest part of the bilge so as to ventilate the engine
room properly.
The engine room intake plenums are designed so as to remove
moisture from the incoming air and drain it overboard. The drain
fittings and hose should be kept clean and free flowing.
